Default Was that Traction Control? or a weak Hemi? : )

Just kidding . . . hopefully!

Durango R/T is only one week old . . I have a lot to learn about it.

On a trip to the mountains, we came across a patch of snow in the curve of the road. I hit the throttle in an attempt to throw the beast sideways, and scare all the passengers. . . Instead, it felt like the engine bogged out. Nothing happened, even at half throttle.

I am assuming that is because of Traction Control? The computer was saying "Hold on there buddy, that is WAY too much throttle for these conditions, I will help you drive more safely"

Since this is mainly for my wife to drive, it is a good thing. I will just have to get in one of the old Jeeps if I want to have some silly fun.

I don't have snow here in FL but we have plenty of sand, well anyways I was driving through some sand and hit the gas and the engine bogged out, went back through it with TC turned off and it went sideways so easy lol. Absolutely awesome!
